NEW lORh, November S.-DslOM VIII
be found the comments of the New York
press on the result of the elections yester-
day:
The Times says: "On the two issues
presented in the canvass in this State,
PlattiSm on the Republican side, and reve-
nue. reform on the Democratic side, the
verdict of yesterday is complete, satislac-
tory and convincing. Mr. Platt is hope
lessly discredited as a leader. He is
beaten by majority that cannot well be
less than %, 900, or more than twice that
BY which Mr.. Davenport was defeated,
when the Blaine men found it necessary
to prove that New York could
not be carried by an honest
Republican candidate. TO the fortunes of
Platt as Republican "bOss" this defeat
should be disastrous. If it be not that,
then it is sure proof that disaster, and
disaster only, awaits the Republican party
under his domination. The vote OF yes
terday serves notice on the Republican
party that Platt and Blaine, whom for the
time being, Platt represented, must be
given mp or all hope OF success in the Pres
ideutal campaign next year must he
abandoned. That such notice has been
served is i great gain for honest govern
ment, not only in this State, hut IN the
nation.
But the victory OF the Democrats is as
full of promise OF advantage to the cOun-
try as il the downfall of Pfatt. The re-
huke 10 the latter is encouraging for the
former. The Democrats OF New York had
the sagacity TO see, that now was the time
and this State the arena in which to fight
for the principle of revenue reform. They
put the principle clearly, definitely into
their platform, and they have met their
proteciiunists opponents at every point on
this issue. They have won a signal vic
tory and they will 20 from their battle
here, before the majority Of the house, and
demand that this same tight shall he
made ia the National election next year.
The majority must listen to them"
The Tribune says: "ln the light OF yes
terday's voting it must be said that the
country reailirmS its verdict against Presl-
ident Cleveland and his party. The result
in detail shows some interesting features.
The prohibition vote has increased consid-
erably, thanks to their energetic and prac-
teal speech making canvass throughout
the State. The labor vote in this city has
fallen to nearly One.half Of Georges vote
of last year, as it WAS expected to do.
That the Democrats should have been
able, in spite of all this, to carry
the State, is due in part to the
combined opposition Of the PrOhlbItlOnlStS
and the liuuOr Dealers in part to the fact
that a larger proportion OF the labor vote
has had TO come from the Republican par
ty, especially in the country, than was eX-
pected; and in part perhaps to Republican
discontent with the head OF their State
ticket and with Democrats on their city
ticket. We see no reason tor Republican
dismay IN this result. The Democrats
have won by the most tremenduons eXer'
tions."
Under the head of ''Three Things Set
tied" the World says: "rhe result OF the
election in this State settles three points
as thoroughly n any political event can
he settled in advance. President Cleve-
land will be reuominated by his party;
Mr. Blaine yill not he renominated by the
Republicans. Mr.. George will not control
the election next year. New York is the
piyotal State. Mr.. Cleveland's friends
have had a complete triumph. They are
entitled to the fruits Of the victory. Grover
Cleveland l. indeed q lucky man, and
James G.. Blaine msy D. said to be dead
cock in the pit Ii seems thai The Ger
man Republican vote very largely came
over I, the Democratic side, and with the
| increased Prohibition vote much more
than made up'the dlsasection caused Dy
the labor movement
The Sun says: Due credit for the CO.
besion and confidence that brought about
the glorious result of yesterday should he
given 10 Grover Cleveland, whose manly
and sensible letter was as timely aslt was
wise"
The Herald says: THE elections are
eomplete triumph for the administration.
the victory is along the whole line. Inc
National, STATE and Municipal admlnlstra-
tiops were alike on trial snG The verdict as
regards President Cleveland, Governor
] Hin and Mayor Hewitt is We'll done good
and faithful servant We cannot over
estimate the significance OF tins verdict IN
its effect upon NatiOaal politics. What
ever were the faults of the Democrats IN
the past, hey have fully won back public
| confidence. Whether this is owing to the
conservative policy of CleFeland, or Ma
| tiopsl instinct to be honest, we do not
know, Bat it is q fact and the New so'
elections confirm it, that the Democratic
marty to-day, to use = sporting phrase,
| i the ''layorite."
Hm says " Wss Gtorious Victory.
